hissingsid Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 I cannot understand it being one way for TT and two ways for the Grand Prix I know there is considerably more traffic for the TT but MGP traffic is still heavy. Totally confusing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally confusing. The original concept of the one way system was good - cancel out head on collisions, and make it easier for the emergency services to close in the event of an incident. And by that measure, it should have been the same for MGP. It never happened. Notwithstanding an early morning run over the one way is great fun, the rest of the time it is a bloody liability. It’s quite simply a fairground ride. There is no effective way of making it safer, or effectively policing it. The police patrols are there simply to close it down and respond to the incident. needs a rethink. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of what brings the people here to save our apparently burgeoning and growing economy which shouldn't even need them because we're told it's doing so well in other areas. Which is why it won't change anytime soon. Not saying that you're wrong D. Just what you're up against. It's an oxymoron. A contradiction in interests.

But when the DOI refuse me a road closure for a marshaled an managed event because it is ‘high risk’ I find it difficult to reconcile their open road policy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the stinking enigma Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 It's a different crowd for the fom. The one way system in tt is basically a free track day for wannabe racers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
